For the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they began to create a stratospheric strike and reconnaissance complex. It will consist of an aircraft, suspended containers with radars, electronic intelligence systems and optoelectronic stations. The new complex will be able to transmit the coordinates of targets to ground-based missile systems, artillery, Navy and aviation ships in real time. This will significantly increase the effectiveness of our missile strikes, experts are sure.
